Best Donuts in Manly

"After developing a gluten and dairy allergy back in 2017, Yu Ozone refused to give up on her love of food. Instead, she created Comeco, which is serving up gluten (and dairy) free sourdough doughnuts and vegan sushi to the Newtown masses. The signature sourdoughnuts are made using an organic brown rice sourdough starter, which gives the doughnuts a crisp exterior and a wonderfully chewy inside."

"NewtownComeco Foods is a vegan and gluten-free cafe baking all your favourite sweets, but plant-based, including doughnuts and sweet potato brownies. Although the sweets are a popular choice, Comeco Foods also makes vegan sushi platters so you can entertain your vegan friends too. The platters are filled with an assortment of nigiri and rolls in all kinds of flavours."

"If you’re vegan, stop and drop everything - we’ve just found a cafe that has graciously made life a little sweeter with playful desserts, donuts and a full brekkie and lunch menu that are all prepared with the best naturally gluten-free ingredients!. At Nutie, they are all about ‘having your cake and eating it too!. Find them at: 44 Holt St,Surry Hills | 13 Beattie St, Balmain"

"Acclaimed first and foremost as deliverers of delectable donuts, you can also head down to their store in Camperdown Wednesday through Sunday for your fix. Alternately, order online and let them do the hardwork for you!. The s’more donut with dark chocolate ganache, crushed biscuit crumb and marshmallow fluff that torched to perfection is other-wordly, and the apple fritter number is chockers with apple, cinnamon and caramel pieces – a match made in heaven."

"Calories don’t count in lockdown, so head over to Dr Dough Donuts for your daily sugar fix stat. They also offer same day delivery."

"Don’t Doughnuts’ USP lies in their sourdough-brioche hybrid doughnuts which are both delicious and indulgent, and open for takeaway. 📍 Don’t Doughnuts, 324 Victoria Street Darlinghurst NSW 2010"

"Sweet toothed folks with dietary requirements haven’t been left behind either, thanks to good folks at Nutie. The crew is currently keeping both the Balmain and Surry Hills spots open for takeaway so Sydneysiders can continue to get their sugar fix. If you’ve never had the opportunity to try one of Nutie’s extravagant doughnuts, here’s the lowdown: they’re all 100-percent gluten-free, resulting in a slightly denser, cake-like treat (and this is not a bad thing)."

"Nature’s Energy is a bathhouse with spaces in Glebe, Newtown, and Balmain. All spaces stick to tradition here, seeking to capture the essence of true slow living and offer experiences built around the idea of escapism. Various treatments are made of ideas stemming from multiples cultures, from Indian head massages to Turkish scrubs."

"With great emphasis on a dark, calming atmosphere, The Darling Spa – buried beneath The Star’s high-end hotel – is a no-brainer for those looking for Sydney’s best men’s spa treatments. And the menu is packed with variety too, from hot rocks massages to a $240 marri marli facial and back treatment formulated especially for men. Many of the treatments here are defined by Li’tya indigenous spa rituals, worked up in collaboration with indigenous elders using pure Australian botanicals, extracts, and essences."

"The name says it all: this is the darling of Sydney’s spa-land, and with good reason: The Spa takes up an entire floor of The Darling, and like the rest of the hotel it’s uber- uber-stylish. The dim lights, plush couches and sleek, dark timber furnishings create a space intimate and luxe enough to feel like you’ve climbed into honeycomb-infused chocolate – and it’s at least as delicious inside. The Spa at The Darling"

"At the top of their game, The Darling Spa is a must for the passionate hedonist. One of our go-to's for the best day spa in Sydney, you may have a hard time deciding which treatment to indulge in, but the Moroccan Hammam chamber or an invigorating session on the Kinesis wall is hard to go past. Couples are also catered for in their luxurious suites, and they're currently only open on weekends."

"Built in the 1850s, Sydney’s copper-domed, Italianate sandstone observatory squats atop Observatory Hill, overlooking the harbour. Inside is a collection of vintage apparatus, including Australia’s oldest working telescope (1874), as well as background on Australian astronomy and transits of Venus. Also on offer (weekends and school holidays) are child-focused tours (adult/child $10/8), including a solar telescope viewing and planetarium show. Bookings are essential for night-time stargazing sessions, which come in family-oriented (adult/child $22/17) and adult (adult/child $27/20) versions."

"Speaking of underappreciated places, the Sydney Observatory is not something you should overlook. There’s nothing more calming and inspiring than gazing at the stars and just enjoying the vastness of space at night. This can also be a great learning experience for your little ones as they learn about science, technology, and so much more."

"Sydney Observatory was built in 1858 on a hill above The Rocks and was used for decades for research into astronomy and weather conditions. It was also crucial for navigation, meteorology and timekeeping. The observatory is still an important scientific site but is used mainly as a museum these days."

"With a Southern Cali spin on Americana style, The Eathouse pulls bold flavours and high quality produce together for a refreshing take on diner eats. Think less burgers, more trendy salad, with beetroot fattoush ($16) and roasted eggplant ($18) making way for mains of Southern fried chicken pieces ($19) and the baby quid and chorizo gumbo with green chilli, rice and a spicy tomato sauce ($19). The banana split ($14) with banana ice cream, dulce de leche, chocolate ganache and peanut crumble will stifle any hunger that rears its head."

"The red vinyl stools around a curved bar and crimson walls with a chalkboard menu on the wall conjure 1950s Americana, but there's no schtick here. The menu features Southern classics that aren't too heavy, such as fried okra in corn maize batter with spicy chipotle and tomato sauce and the delicious spicy Creole gumbo, as well as dishes with a more English or Australian heritage. The fun atmosphere and seriously good food means that, years in, this place is still full most nights of the week."

"What makes it special: Step back in time into a Pin Up’s paradise and meet Doughbox Diner’s very own Diner Doll. Come to Doughbox Diner to fulfil your childhood dream of traveling to America just for an authentic diner experience, on steroids!. Usually at diners such as this, you would get burgers and fries."

"While some places go for a modern approach, others love to simply capture an era gone by. Doughbox Diner is your go-to if you need to indulge in authentic 60s America, all the way down to the tables. They’re also famous for their handheld crepe cones, but we drool for their banana splits!"
